Ask your student(s) about our new incentive program for students called “caught you”. Students are being acknowledged for demonstrating attitudes and behavior consistent with the IB Learner Profile. We are proud of our amazing students and have enjoyed providing extra recognition for their great behavior.

Students in Ms. Sarah’s and Ms. Abby’s class have teamed up for Friday Reading Buddies. Older students spend time each week reading with younger students. Reading buddies provides an opportunity for students to model the IB profile and has helped to build a school-wide community at Tesfa.

It is my privilege to introduce Ms. Hanen Bouchrit to the Tesfa community as our new Arabic teacher. Ms. Hanen comes to Tesfa with several years of Arabic teaching experience and extensive education. We are so pleased to welcome Ms. Hanen to our team and are confident that our scholars will have a fabulous Arabic teacher.

Additionally, I want take this opportunity to let you know that we are now able to offer students Arabic, Physical Education, and Art on a daily basis. We believe the daily exposure to Arabic is essential to the immersion in the Arabic language. Similarly, daily exposure to Art and Physical Education will provide our students with a well-rounded education.

Don’t hesitate to email or call me with any questions about our new Arabic teacher or new schedule. My contact information is listed below. It is an honor to serve our students and families, and I look forward to continuously improving our school. Our entire team is committed to providing the best education for each of our fabulous scholars.
